Official sites of celebrities as spam launchpads are somewhat unthinkable. Posts of “online free video streaming” are usually posted on sites which offer free registration and nonexclusive posts. Dion, therefore, is definitely an exception.

The spam was seen on the celebrity’s photo gallery in her website. It is similar to the posts on the website ‘malwarebytes unpacked’ as it resembles the spam posts on steam (blogging domain like slideshare, twitter, soundcloud etc.).
The issue is however with a plugin allowing registered users in the site to upload fan photographs. The admins might have foreseen the spam images appearing with the clickable text. The visitors are then asked for personal information and payment details after clicking on the spam link.
